Prison within myself

this poem is about how people are scared to show their own self in school and how it tears them apart.

Tick! Tock! The monocholy sound of the clock. And how I wish for me. To leave a prison! A prison of myself. My feelings suppressed And all hope lost with the rest. For myself is lost in pain and sorrow. Now i can barley make it till tomorrow. I have no feelings No way to live. For i dont show who i truely am. But a man is who i am. One with no feelings. One with no yang. One man with no reason to live.
